May reading wrap-up

May is over and I am ALL KINDS of ready for summer. Especially since it seems we bypassed spring. Even though I don't spend all that much time in the sun (cos, you know, PALE) I enjoy knowing it's out there.

I did not do well this month in terms of my resolutions. Which I sort of knew would happen when I kicked so much ass with it last month. Next month perhaps. When things are unpacked (oh man, things better be unpacked...) and new things books are acquired.

Let's see the stats

About Me

I started this blog as a means to start writing again after I let that hobby stagnate after college. I went with writing about books because it's the topic I am most likely to accost a stranger about, so I figured why not bother lots of strangers simultaneously here. I read primarily contemporary fiction, usually of the dark humor sort, but I'm willing to dabble in most genres.
